That recalls a comment from a game: "Your objective's on the other side of an impenetrable door, locked by an unpickable lock. Do you a) curse your misfortune, b) try and find better tools, or c) track down the watchman with the keys, slug him, take his keys and continue about your business?"

Or "(e) poke around in the game's unencrypted memory space until you figure out how to turn the impenetrable door into a pony, then wait for it to wander off looking for a nice Douglas Adams adventure".

When I saw that cartoon, my first thought was, "Hey my truecrypt volume got the countermeasure for exactly this type of attack!" It got plausible deniability on the hidden partition. But then again, actual actual reality is right: Who would want my data anyways. And I didn't even turn the hidden partition on. Or did I? ;)
